How to Make Cranberry Pinwheels
Ingredients:
- Spinach Tortillas
- Cream Cheese
- Feta Cheese

- Green Onions
- Pepper
Directions:
- In a bowl, mix all ingredients except tortillas together.
- Spread an even layer of the mixture all the way across tortillas to the edges. Sprinkle extra green onions on top.

- Refrigerate for at least an hour, up to 8 hours. Slice in ½ inch pinwheels, and serve.
Cranberry Cream Cheese Pinwheels
While these pinwheel appetizers are great anytime of the year, they are perfect during the holidays because of their festive colors! They look so pretty on a platter.
Cranberry is also one of those prominent flavors of Christmastime, so they are even more appropriate this time of the year.
The mixture of flavors here is so unique. There is so much tang from the cream cheese, sweetness from the cranberry, and saltiness from the feta. The green onion rounds the flavors out perfectly.
I love using the spinach wraps for this recipe for an even more festive touch, but you can use whichever type of tortilla you prefer!
Cream Cheese Cranberry Pinwheels Pro Tips:
This recipe is honestly fool-proof and the only crucial step is that you refrigerate for at least one hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and for the cream cheese mixture to "glue" the roll together. If you cut these too soon, they will unwrap.
You can definitely refrigerate them longer as well.
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container.
